Abstract

The flux growth of the following complex fluorides is reported: KNiCrF6; RbCoCrF6, RbMnCrF6; CsCoAIF6, CsCoCrF6, CsCoFeF6; CsCrAIF6; CsMgAIF6, CsMgCrF6, CsMgFeF6; CsMnAIF6, CsMnCrF6, CsMnFeF6; CsNiAIF6, CsNiCrF6, CsNiFeF6; CsZnFeF6. Octahedral crystals of some of these materials with edges up to 1 cm have been grown. Most of them are cubic, but several are twinned, indicating a structural phase transition below the growth temperature. The growth of KCr2 F6.5 and BaNiF3.6Cl0.4 crystals is also described. Larger faceted crystals of K2FeF5 are reported. The growth of crystals of KFe2F6, previously only prepared under HF and N2, has been achieved in air.
